Just out of interest, who is Ryan's agent?

There is nothing to suggest he destabilised the club and certainly nothing in his performances to indicate he never gave less than 100%.
The club will need to replace him and I hope that it is of more quality than our replacement for Randall.

MC said several months ago
Hampshire was offered a contract that he didn’t want to sign
The deadline ran out and he wasn’t offered another contract. I don’t understand why he would think he would be offered another when it’s being in the media he won’t

Totally back MC on this, it’s all being out there in the public domain for months

For what it’s worth I also think Ryan’s agent is partly to blame here
I imagine and this is guess work that his wage demands have being offered to various other SL clubs
None of which wanted to pay over the odds

I suspect Ryan will end up playing for another club now at similar money to what MC offered him originally

Isn't it 'Show me the money' Harrison.

I thought it was.

Good point Scarlet Pimpernel about Randell a 3rd choice 9 from Salford is not the answer .In fact I think with Broughs age and Hampshire going we are weaker now at 6 ,7 and 9 than we were last season We have got to sign quality in these positions or it could be the same as this season

Club have said they are going to sign seven more players - suspect they know more about the recruitment needs than most on here so let’s just hope we get what we need- as regards Hampshire really sorry that he and club couldn’t make a deal . Suspect to get what he values himself at financially and positionally he ll need a fur coat next year

'Show me the Money', isn't it?

He'll be asking every season the way Hampshire is going through clubs.

I can lay it all out for you if you want, including all timelines and discussions, backed up with written evidence, but that wouldn’t suit some people would it?

theres nothing I need to hide

So you can say in all honesty that at no time in the last 12 month you have never had anything other than the welfare of Hampshire's best interest at heart?.

I hope the answer to that is he has the interests of Wakefield Trinity above all.

This.

I have the best interests of Wakefield Trinity at heart

I’m a bit confused, all this has being in the papers there isn’t anything to hide, it’s black and white

Several months ago Ryan was offered a contract
He thought he was worth more so didn’t sign it, MC publically statedd he wouldn’t be offered more money and there was a deadline on the contract

Im backing MC and his conduct 100% here

Please don't do that.
It would be against the AUP to give details personal to someone else.
Even if it's yours to give.

Exactly how I see it Adam

Last year before he signed it was all the same with Ryan,
Some players would be better off avoiding social media altogether, a good life lesson is keep your to your self

Good player but we don’t need this type of hassle and we can’t afford to pay what he wants

For the lads sake this doesn't need to be played out in public, regardless of who started it. Hampshire is a good player and will get another club, perhaps even for the value that he and his agent have in mind.

People leave jobs. It's life.

I'm with M C on this one , about 8 weeks ago he came on this site and said ,if Hampshires agent was up for it he would let the facts of the deal go public from both sides .One of the Brothers who plays for The Rabbitos in ozz is signing for Wigan next year and Wigan are one and a quarter million pound in det. How the other half live.

Sure mc upgraded df contract at the last minute two year's ago cos he was on his way to cas ,it can be done ,even now

Of course it can be done, but Fifita is an integral part of the team so can command that negotiation. For all that I would like Hampshire to have been retained, he's not at that level just yet, at least in the eyes of the people who are offering the contract. The club made an offer, gave a deadline, it wasn't accepted. End of story for me. As I said before. Ryan Hampshire will get another club easily so come next year he will be playing his game and can forget about perceived injustices here. No point looking back, it only eats up at you when you can be concentrating on the future and the opportunities that will bring.

DF is a better player and worth fighting to keep. Let's not forget that he was in serious contention for Man of Steel this year until he got injured. Was Hampshire?

Since MC came on board he has always given fans the truth, even if it wasn't what we wanted to hear. In this instance I'm going to take MC's word.

Let me go through the thread and clean it up.
I take your point but you've effectively just done that.

Ok, I've cleaned up the thread with the comments that are stating personal details or implies someone's identity, whether known by people or not.
There will be some posts that got caught in the crossfire with quotes unfortunately.

To both side of this argument. This is not the place to discuss this. If it's appropriate to talk about in the public domain it will likely be discussed in a more official route. If not leave it to your own personal dealings.
